OET (OET-RV) Don’t grumble like many of them did, and then they were killed by the death angel.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–11:1: Avoid idolatry completely

Paul addressed believers who thought it was acceptable to eat meals in an idol’s temple. First he warned them (10:1–13). He used examples from the Old Testament to show them their danger. Then he commanded them (10:14–22). He said that no one can take part in both the Lord’s Supper and idol feasts. He said that believers are free to eat meat sold in the market place unless this will hurt someone else’s conscience (10:23–30). In summary, he said that believers should control their behavior in two ways. They should praise God in everything they do, and they should not allow their actions to harm another person (10:31–11:1).

Here are some other possible section headings:

Don’t worship idols

Do everything for the glory of God

Paragraph 10:6–10

Paul gave examples from the Hebrew Scriptures to warn the believers. He emphasized that it is dangerous to honor false gods and to commit sexual immorality.

10:10a

And do not complain,

10:10b

as some of them did,

10:10a-b

And: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as And introduces another negative command. In some languages it may be natural to follow the GNT and start a new sentence with no conjunction.

Here are some other ways to translate this conjunction:

Nor (RSV)

do not complain, as some of them did: For the biblical stories, see Numbers 14:1–38, Numbers 16:1–14, Numbers 16:41–42. In these stories, the people grumbled and complained against Moses and Aaron, the leaders the Lord had appointed to help them. Evidently some of the people of the church in Corinth grumbled against Paul as their leader.

complain: Here are some other ways to translate this word:

grumble (NIV)

speak against God

10:10c

and were killed by the destroying angel.

and were killed by the destroying angel: The English verb were killed is passive.The Greek verb is in the middle voice.

Here are two ways to translate this passive verb:

the destroying angel: The Greek word that the BSB translates as destroying angel is more literally “the destroyer.” The story in Exodus 12:21–30 gives background on the destroying angel . It is likely that Paul understood this “destroyer” to be an angel sent from the Lord to carry out his judgment against the people. Compare 2 Samuel 24:15–17; 2 Chronicles 32:21; and Hebrews 11:28.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the angel whom God sent to kill them

the angel of God who had authority to kill people

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τινὲς αὐτῶν ἐγόγγυσαν, καὶ ἀπώλοντο ὑπὸ τοῦ ὀλοθρευτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μηδέ γογγύζετε καθάπερ τινές αὐτῶν ἐγόγγυσαν καί ἀπώλοντο ὑπό τοῦ ὀλοθρευτοῦ)

Here Paul refers to a story found in [Numbers 16:41–50](../../num/16/41.md) and perhaps also a story found in [Numbers 14:1–38](../../num/14/01.md). In both of these stories, Israelites grumbled or complained about how their leaders and God himself are leading them. In response, God sends a plague or kills Israelites who grumbled. If your readers are not familiar with these stories, you could add a footnote that refers to or summarizes the stories. [Num 16:41–50](../../num/16/41.md)

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μηδέ γογγύζετε καθάπερ τινές αὐτῶν ἐγόγγυσαν καί ἀπώλοντο ὑπό τοῦ ὀλοθρευτοῦ)

Here, and introduces the result of the Israelites “grumbling.” If your language does not use and to introduce a result, you can use a word or phrase that is more natural. Alternate translation: [and as a result] or [with the result that they]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀπώλοντο ὑπὸ τοῦ ὀλοθρευτοῦ

destroyed_‹themselves› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μηδέ γογγύζετε καθάπερ τινές αὐτῶν ἐγόγγυσαν καί ἀπώλοντο ὑπό τοῦ ὀλοθρευτοῦ)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on those who are destroyed rather than focusing on who or what does the “destroying.” If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that “God” did it by using the destroyer. Alternate translation: [God used the destroyer to destroy them]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

τοῦ ὀλοθρευτοῦ

the destroyer

Here, the destroyer refers to an angelic messenger whom God sends to “destroy.” Sometimes, this angel is called “the Angel of Death.” The stories that Paul refers to do not explicitly mention the destroyer, but Paul understands the destroyer to be the one who acts out God’s judgment by bringing a plague and killing Israelites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the destroyer with a word or phrase that refers to a spiritual being that “destroys.” However, this spiritual being must be one whom God could send. Alternate translation: [the angel of death] or [a destroying angel]
